What lowers your MacBook Pro offer
-
Older chip, less memory and storage
Apple silicon MacBook Pros with a Pro or Max chip, more memory and a bigger drive sit at the top of the range, and Intel models from 2017 to 2020 sit well below. Enter the chip, screen size, year, RAM and full storage exactly as About This Mac shows them.
-
Battery wear
A high battery cycle count, or a Service Recommended message in Battery Health, lowers the offer. Check the cycle count under System Information, then Power, and answer the battery question in the tool from what you see.
-
Display and keyboard damage
Cracks, dark patches or flicker on the screen, worn or sticky keys, a weak trackpad click and a bent lid all move a MacBook Pro into a lower condition. Report what you see, because inspection checks the same things.
-
Activation Lock or company management
A MacBook Pro still tied to an Apple Account through Find My, or still enrolled in an employer's device management, cannot be traded in until that is removed. Sort it out before you ship.
Plug cannot take Windows laptops, Macs locked by Find My or Activation Lock, Macs still under company management, or lost or stolen devices.
How much can I sell my MacBook Pro for?
It depends on the chip, screen size, year, memory, storage and condition of your MacBook Pro. The table on this page shows the highest current estimate for the line, and the estimate tool prices your exact configuration. The final value follows inspection.
Where is the best place to sell a MacBook Pro?
Apple and retailer trade-ins usually pay in credit toward a new Mac. Marketplaces can pay more, but you write the listing, deal with buyers and carry the shipping risk. Plug is a mail-in buyback: get an offer online, ship free with a prepaid label, and choose store credit or a digital payout after inspection. Compare quotes for the same configuration.
Is it better to sell or trade in a MacBook Pro?
Trading in is the simpler route: one offer, one box, no strangers messaging you. Selling privately can bring in more, but it costs time and carries the risk of a dispute. With Plug you do not have to buy a replacement, and you can choose store credit if you want to put the value toward another device.
Can I sell a MacBook Pro with a cracked screen or a weak battery?
The estimate tool asks about the display, keyboard, battery and whether the Mac works, and damage lowers the offer. Some faults may not qualify at all, so answer honestly. If your exact model or problem is not listed, contact Plug before sending it.
More questions about selling your MacBook Pro
Does Plug buy Windows laptops?
No. Plug takes Mac only through this tool, so a Dell, HP, Lenovo or other Windows laptop cannot be traded in here. MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are the lines covered on these pages.
Does my MacBook Pro chip generation matter?
Yes. An M-series chip, its Pro or Max tier and the year all change the estimate, and Intel models are priced separately. The tool asks for chip, screen size and year, and you can find all three under About This Mac.
What should I do before I ship my MacBook Pro?
You do not need to erase it to see an estimate. When you are ready to send it, back up with Time Machine, sign out of iCloud, turn off Find My, then erase the Mac using Erase All Content and Settings or macOS Recovery. Pack it in a sturdy box and attach the prepaid label.
How does payment work?
Payment follows receipt and inspection of your MacBook Pro, and submitting an online offer does not trigger it. Choose store credit, or choose to decide later and pick a digital payout method after inspection. The options shown in your offer can differ from one offer to the next.
